Jemeniläiset Houthi-kapinalliset ovat julkaisseet propagandavideon, joka näyttää kreikkalaislipun alla purjehtivan M/V Magic Seas -rahtialuksen uppoavan Punaisella merellä 6. heinäkuuta tapahtuneen hyökkäyksen seurauksena.
Laajalti sosiaalisessa mediassa jaettu video näyttää taistelijoiden ottavan yhteyttä alukseen VHF-radion kautta ennen hyökkäystä, nousevan sen kyytiin ja lopulta räjäyttävän rungossa olleet räjähteet.
Vakavuudestaan huolimatta kaikki 22 miehistön jäsentä pelastettiin onnistuneesti toisella ohi kulkeneella rahtialuksella. Pelastusoperaatiota koordinoivat Euroopan merellinen EUNAVFOR ATALANTA -operaatio ja UK Maritime Trade Operations. Kaikki miehistön jäsenet nousivat maihin turvassa Djiboutissa.
